I used to train for long-distance running competitions in Upstate New York and Quebec. We would slather our faces with vaseline. The face mask would freeze over quickly. Then the other clothes that didn't move much with the articulations would freeze solid from the vapor. This was before all the high-tech fabric.

Also we drank a lot. But you didn't walk home alone, drunk, too dangerous.

Living, exercising, just moving daily in extreme cold is a fantastic sensual experience, however. But maybe best for the young and strong?

I used to laugh when I arrived in class. After my face unfroze, that is.

Of course, there are days like this in NYC, too. Shocking cold!!! One time a rich bf from a warmish country took pity and gave me a superb artic expedition down parka, which I still have 25 years later. If you have the right equipment, cold is bearable and even fun. There were days I wore ski pants just out and about in NYC. Flannel lined jeans are good, too.

If there is sun, I love bitter cold.

I absolutely hate the cold. So why do I live in northcentral Indiana? Because I can't afford to move and my sister in Phoenix probably wouldn't support me.

I don't know that we have winters quite as severe as the East coast, but we gets tons of snow and extreme cold. We're supposed to start getting snow tomorrow and it's supposed to last for two days. We've been fortunate so far, Novemeber was quite a mild month. However, winter is coming, and I'm sure it will hit with force.

I actually had to break out my Beanie today. Its 50 with a blowing yucky mist. Brrrrrr.

Wimp. It's only 52F in my kitchen, 51F upstairs and 59F in my living room at the moment. (I have digital clocks that also give the room temp) I think it's around 49/50 outside, maybe a bit colder. I guess I should count my blessings though - there's no mist today, inside or out.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Well, you got that right. I couldn't believe how bad they are in the snow. When I took driving lessons, four of us were taken to a big parking lot early on a Sunday morning before it was ploughed so we could learn how to handle a car in a few inches of snow and icy conditions. That lesson served me well over the years. It was good fun too!

The Brits aren't that good in snow mainly because they rarely get to practice. They're better in northern Scotland where they do get snow more than once or twice a year.

Oh, and I checked the local weather - it's colder outside than I realised. It's only 43F (6C). No wonder it's so cold in the parts of the house I'm not heating at the moment! (Damn recession)

We're just having more of the same wet, windy weather we've been having for the last three or four weeks. The only difference is that it's effin' COLD! With the strong winds we've been having it feels a lot colder than it is, particularly when you're getting pelted in the face with rain. I'd MUCH rather have snow and wind than rain and wind.

I feel sorry for the people in the fishing industry - the boats have only been out a handful of days in nearly a month. We normally don't get this much wind until January/February. It's tough on them when it comes before the holidays.

ps: it's snowing currently in the northeastern corner of Mississippi... meanwhile in Philly it's +60℉, 20 degrees warmer than New Orleans. 6 degrees warner than San Diego. Very strange for early December. Just three counties northwest of me (Poconos) there's a winter storm warning for 7" of snow.

It's still cold here (low to mid 40s) but it looks like it will be getting colder tomorrow, with snow predicted over the hills.

It's still blowing a hoolie as well. Tonight they're giving westerlies with gusts up to 60mph, but I'm sure the wind is stronger than that. It sounds like a freight train at the moment.

The constant wind isn't just pissing off people in the fishing industry any more - it's pissing everyone off now because the shelves are becoming increasingly bare in the grocery stores, aside from local produce. (most goods are shipped in, not flown in)

Oh please -- can you imagine "wheelie bins" blowing down Broad Street here in Killadelphia during a wind storm and hitting lanes of oncoming taxi cabs and city buses? That's why we have to use just the bags. I live on one of the busiest streets in the city.

Ha. We've been having gusts up to 100mph the past couple days. It's blowing a hoolie right now aamof. It's getting rather tedious - I damn near got blown over yesterday on my way back from the chemist.

Wheelie bins do not live on the street. They live in your front or back garden in a sheltered spot or in a garage, if you have one. They only hang out in the street on bin day when they're full and if it's blowing when the binmen empty them, they lie them over on their side so they don't take flight.

Do you dorks realize yall are parking in the middle of the street? Craziness.

The locals, meaning specifically South Philadelphia (not the entire city), think it's just peachy. Evidently every time the city has wanted to put in a landscaped center the community board, which probably consists of a dozen crusty old Italian men, fights it. Anyway, it's a very dense neighborhood and it's not easy to find parking.
